A novel water-soluble uranyl-salophen (salophen=N,N‘-disalicylidene-o-phenylenediaminate) complex was obtained. Solubility was achieved in aqueous methyl-β-cyclodextrin solutions, taking advantage of the host-guest interactions established with the adamantyl moieties present on the ligand skeleton. Such an approach facilitates the synthesis of the receptor and the purification processes and, in perspective, can be definitely applicable to other molecular scaffolds. UV/Vis titration experiments demonstrate that the capacity of the uranyl-salophen core to behave as a receptor for anions is retained in water and appears comparable with that previously reported for other water-soluble uranyl-salophen systems. Hence the presence of cyclodextrins does not interfere with molecular recognition processes.

一种新设计的用于阴离子识别的水溶性铀酰-Salophen 复合物

一种新型水溶性铀酰-salophen (salophen= N , N' -disalicylidene- o-苯二胺）络合物。利用与配体骨架上存在的金刚烷基部分建立的主客体相互作用，在甲基-β-环糊精水溶液中实现了溶解度。这种方法有利于受体的合成和纯化过程，并且从角度来看，绝对适用于其他分子支架。UV/Vis 滴定实验表明，铀酰-salophen 核作为阴离子受体的能力保留在水中，并且似乎与先前报道的其他水溶性铀酰-salophen 系统相当。因此，环糊精的存在不会干扰分子识别过程。
